Description

Due to something weird happening between the TouchDB and PhoneGap frameworks there is an EXC_BAD_ACCESS error that gets thrown when the touchdb:/// protocol is accessed.

1,000,000 bonus points to the first Objective-C developer to figure out how to fix this!

This project is a PhoneGap 1.4 template generated project that has had TouchDB added to it and configured to start. It starts up successfully but then as soon as a request is made to it (from a WebView via PhoneGap) it throws an error.

The code for TouchDB.framework is here: https://github.com/couchbaselabs/TouchDB-iOS/tree/master/Source
The code for PhoneGap iOS is here: https://github.com/apache/incubator-cordova-ios

Research direction

Start by reproducing the EXC_BAD_ACCESS when a WebView request accesses the touchdb:/// protocol in the PhoneGap 1.4 template project. Read the TouchDB-iOS Source code alongside the PhoneGap iOS code; done means the request completes without the reported crash.
